  1. This might be useful to you, looks like someone else had the same issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ICpSrKw3g looks to me like you'll be ok, no oil leaks at least as its the stator cover
  2. My Jacket is Heine Gericke too and I never had a complaint about it. Especially when my previous one was a cheap job. Such a difference in quality, especially wind and water resistance. Pity they went out of business
  3. My wife's brother used to pay for the complete package on his Virgin TV for the living room box and his bedroom and the kids room even with some sort of loyalty discount etc he was still paying out something ridiculous like £140 a month
  4. I still think of 30 years ago being the 70's
  5. [mention]Richzx6r[/mention] The welder is going nowhere as it was my late father-in-laws Anyway I quite like putting holes in my slippers from the spatter
  6. The fuel in the reserve tank can get contaminated with bits of crud, rust flakes etc as it all goes to the bottom. Inside the petcock will be a fuel filter, sounds like the reserve filter has got some debri blocking it. the long bits sticking out are the filters, the longest one being the reserve one (no its not, its the short one! [mention]fastbob[/mention] )
  7. Funnily Honda had to change the reg/rec design as they kept burning up. Most now have cooling fins!
  8. Cheers people's. I pretty much knew it would be in that ballpark but it's not my forte so thought I'd double check [mention]MarkW[/mention] if my name was anything to do with my welding it would be Grindie
  9. I inherited a MIG welder last year and though the gas bottle is still going strong the spool has now run out Before I replace it I thought I'd ask here what would be a good size to use just for general tacking and quick dirty repairs as that's pretty much my capabilities It had a .6 spool in before it ran out.

    I'd probably buy that but it's [mention]skyrider[/mention] that was originally asking
  11. I'll second wemoto

    [mention]fastbob[/mention] true. its just my personal taste and to be fair, the picture I posted wasn't the nicest looking example I had another look and I think the frame looks so much better in any colour but bright red
  13. throw chinese bikes in there and we have a tmbf party

    I don't like the frame on them, I think it looks like the front fairing has fallen off No idea what they are like to ride, reliability etc though
  15. I had plenty of storage on my old bike, pretty much a 20inch deep storage bucket under the seat so I carried loads of stuff. It sounds overboard but as it was my only form of transport and not exactly new from the showroom I wanted to be able to fix things at the roadside whenever possible. Most of the things I carried were tailored to the issues I'd come across with that bike which was mainly electrical faults, allan keys, selection of sockets and a ratchet, multi screwdriver, stubby hammer, stanley knife, electrical tape, small spool of garden wire, a tin of gungum (I had a crack in my header pipe that I kept patching every now and then) little bottle of wd40, mini tube of vaseline, pliers, mole grip (really useful if clutch cable end snaps) spare fuses, a square of sandpaper, puncture repair kit, spare spark plug. Think thats about it
  16. Chocolate Malted Milk Biscuits are gorgeous!!
  17. dammit, no fish & chips for me tonight as wife wanted a chinese
  18. Hmmm, I'm working tonight 5 while 8:30. Might bring myself back a fish supper
  19. One more brexit post and I'm breaking out the pink wafers and fig rolls. You've been warned
  20. If you then add on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc etc it starts to add up!! I used to have UFC fight pass and WWE network at £9.99 a month each as well until I got rid. I also have a trial of youtube premium that is running out in a couple of months that is £11.99 a month to keep. Wife and kids use it all the time with their google home hub so I guess that one will have to stay
  21. Other problem I think would be trying to actually type with bulky bike gloves on. Sjfnrn dkrois RB brh. Rkridij rhrbrbhrh aserf You get my drift
  22. Is the chain out of adjustment? Too tight can make gear changes play up. Personally I think doing a full engine swap is a massive overkill
  23. Many many years ago, I worked in i.t. installing computers and networks in schools. One of the first lessons I learned was that practically every teachers machine had the password taped to the bottom of the keyboard
  24. My wifes car has a limiter you can set yourself and she has a habit of setting it at 60mph. No fun for me when I forget about it and cant work out why the car has no power on the local dual carriageway
